Travelling Here

From the Airport

The 2018 Hobie® Fishing World Championship presented by Rhino-Rack will be contested in Amal, in Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden. The small town of Amal, with under 10,000 residents, nestles on the shores of Lake Vanern, the third largest lake in Europe.

Teams from around the world will fly into Gothenburg Airport (Goteborg Landvetter Airport) and make their way the 197km to Amal, approximately 2.5 hours away, by the pre-arranged HFW7 Shuttle Bus that leaves at a set time. Anglers who are unable to make the Shuttle Bus Schedule have other travel options available to them, including train travel, hire cars or private cars from surrounding countries.

For those unable to catch the HFW7 Shuttle Bus, we recommend you rent a large passenger van as a group. The pick-up and drop-off for all hire car companies is easy to find and access, across the road and just 50m to the left of the main entrance of Goteborg international airport.

Hit the Road

Once you’ve landed at Gothenburg Airport and picked up your rental vehicle you have an easy 2.5hr scenic drive to your official event accommodation for Hobie Fishing Worlds 7. You will have a short drive to access the E45 and then travel the rest of the way on the E45 until the Amal turn off. From the turn off it is only a 5 minute drive to the official accommodation.

Once you arrive in the town centre of Amal, the official event accommodation Amals Stadshotell is easy to locate in the main street right, right next to the bridge crossing the stream that flows through the town. The exact address is listed below.
